OLIU LAMBERT, Hernán et al. Characterization of patients with vesicular lithiasis treated with minimal access surgery. MEDISAN [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.9, pp. 2069-2076. ISSN 1029-3019.
Introduction: vesicular lithiasis is the disease of the alimentary tract mostly requiring hospitalization. Objective: to characterize the patients with vesicular lithiasis treated with minimal access surgery. Method: a descriptive and retrospective observational study of 1 271 patients with vesicular lithiasis treated with minimal access surgery at the General Surgery Service from "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Provincial Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January, 2011 to September, 2014. Results: the female sex (84.1%), the age group 45-65 years (47.7%), as well as the choleperitoneum as iatrogenic lesion of the biliary pathways as main complication and most frequent cause of reintervention prevailed in the series; also, the presence of the chronic vesicular abscess turned out to be the reason of change to open surgery (25.0%) and only 0.2% of the affected patients died. The hospital stay was shorter than 24 hours in 96.6% of the total of patients and 93.8% of the members of the study were operated with a surgical time of 60 minutes or less. Conclusions: there was low incidence of complications, conversions and reinterventions, without prolonged surgical times and a short hospital stay
